I actually don’t remember what drew me to this book when I first saw it, but whatever it was I’m so happy it did. It is such a sweet opposites attract romance.
Kieran O’Neill and Ellie Wasserman have nothing in common. He’s 27, has ADHD, and is allergic to commitment and she’s 30, lives by a plan, and is a widow who is taking care of her in-laws. When Kieran’s agent gets him a book deal and Ellie is hired to ghostwrite it the two realize they are more prone to fighting than testing recipes.
I’m not a big fan of spicy bedroom scenes and while the door is definitely open, the spiciness is not over the top. I loved all of the characters and the beautiful descriptions of San Francisco and the food Ellie and Kieran made. This is Sarah Chamberlain’s first book and I hope it’s the first of many.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy of this. I’m sorry it took me so long to get to it. The Slowest Burn hit the shelves on September 24th.
